Trump’s outlandish global threats also put America at risk:
• Threatened North Korea with “fire and fury.” http://nbcnews.to/2vqXzfb
• Suggested that the US could take military action in Venezuela. http://bbc.in/2fCTzo7

Trump is violating America’s most sacred principles. Congress must stand up for them.

**ACTION 1: CALL YOUR SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE (if you can’t call during business hours, leave a voice mail! It all makes a difference!)**

SAMPLE SCRIPT
My name is [--] and I’m a constituent from [city], Oregon, zip code [--]. The events of this past week – specifically the racist violence Trump inspired in Charlottesville and his threats of nuclear strikes on North Korea– are alarming and dangerous. Congress must exercise its constitutional powers to act as a check on this out-of-control presidency on all fronts. I'm asking the [Senator/Rep] to demand that Bannon, Gorka and Miller be fired immediately, and that Trump to reverse his decision to cut funding for DHS programs fighting white supremacy. In addition, I would like the [Senator/Rep] to demand hearings on HR 669/S. 200 to require Congressional approval for a nuclear first strike, and insist on a budget that ensures that American diplomacy is fully staffed and funded. Thank you.”

[For Wyden, Merkley, Blumenauer and DeFazio – I am thankful that you have endorsed HR 669/S. 200.]

To fight white supremacy: Will you demand Bannon, Gorka and Miller be fired immediately, and that Trump reverse his decision to cut funding for programs that combat white supremacy and de-radicalize neo-Nazis?

To prevent a nuclear war: Will you demand hearings on HR 669/S. 200, which require Congressional approval for a nuclear first strike, and push for its passage? Will you insist on a budget that ensures that American diplomacy is fully staffed and funded?

**ACTION 3: SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY**
Share this post with friends and family. And help them to call and tell their MoCs to vote in favor of HR 669/S.200, to fully fund US diplomacy and to reject Trump’s white supremacist agenda.
